I found this very cool website to teach you and your children about what you can do to reduce your ecological footprint. The kidsfootprint is a cartoon quiz to take to get  your children thinking about the their daily activities and the impact it has on our planet. There is also a list of things that you can do in all areas of your life- take action that is very helpful. If you want to take a step further there are one day lesson plans for elementary and middle school children that  you can go over in a fun way with your child.  There is also an adult quiz to take that can give you further insight in ecological footprints that we are living from Redefing Progress. Let me know what you think. Learn and Love Organic Living!

I struggled with giving up bottled water thinking how can I drink that polluted tap stuff until I learned a few facts. My first step was realizing 21 years ago before I was born most people didn’t drink bottled water. My second step was finding out most bottled waters aren’t any better then most tap waters. It is said that 40% of bottled water is tap water. I also had to take into consideration what the plastic waste was doing to our enviroment even with recycling them. I gained final confidence was being able to test any water at any time with the water testing kit. Showing me right before my every eyes it is safe water to drink. You too can do this and hopefully spread the word. Our country needs to get back on track with drink water without filling up our land with plastic bottles. Not convinced yet, test your bottled water and see how it may not be any better. If you find out that you have bad contaminates in your water check out a purifying system to put on your faucet. Will you take that challenge? To read more check out water information at EPA. Learn and Love Organic Living!
